"Very well, then."
Huang Qingwei put on a troubled expression, then said, "However, since you two are coming with me, I must give you a warning. You must walk exactly where I do, to avoid stepping on any traps."
"Lead the way."
Leng Ning was unconcerned. With her level of cultivation, she could sense danger in advance.
Huang Qingwei said no more, leading the two women out of the living room.
Afterward, they followed a cobblestone path and turned onto a lawn.
"We're almost there."
Huang Qingwei led the way. After crossing the lawn, they stepped onto a concrete path that ran beneath the eaves of a house.
"For an estate as large as the Huang Family's, is the herb garden really just behind the house?" Leng Ning murmured, as if talking to herself, but also questioning Huang Qingwei.
"You misunderstand, Miss Leng. We're just taking a shortcut." Huang Qingwei turned with an easy smile, but as he faced forward again, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Five more steps!
